Ke Teng, eager to escape Jian Fei's clutches, ate and exercised with all his might every day.
After half a month, he had indeed recovered ahead of schedule and could stand up from his wheelchair.
The first thing he did with his newfound strength was to make Jian Fei leave.
He also wanted to leave this cage and breathe the air of freedom.
Jian Fei disagreed, saying that Mr. Ke's recovery period was one month, and even though Ke Teng had recovered early, the time was not yet up.
Ke Teng had not left the house for half a month and was going crazy from being cooped up.
Upon hearing this, he roared, "Staring at your dead fish eyes every day, I'll lose my normal social skills if I stay any longer. Why should I stay?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Call my dad and report the situation! I don't believe he'll keep me locked up for the rest of his life!"
Jian Fei refused and stood there, looking at him expressionlessly.
His fingers trembled with anger, and he called his father himself.
"If you keep me with this woman any longer, I'll go mad!"
"If you don't let me out, I'll make trouble at home. Neither of us will have peace!"
After the call ended, Ke Jingyu called Jian Fei to ask about Ke Teng's condition.
Jian Fei said, "He has recovered, but not completely. However, he also needs to go out for walks and socialize appropriately to change his mood."
"Otherwise, staying depressed for a long time will be bad for his mental state."
Ke Jingyu sighed, "Compared to his mental state, I'm more worried that he'll run to Nan Cheng as soon as he goes out."
"So, help me think of a way. He can move freely, but he can't leave Shang Cheng."
Jian Fei didn't even need to think.
Being able to move freely but not leave Shang Cheng was exactly her daily routine.
As long as you are poor enough to not afford a ticket out of Shang Cheng, you can't leave even if you want to.
"Take back all his cards, phone, car, and house. Don't let his friends contact him. Isn't that enough?"
Ke Jingyu thought this was a brilliant idea.
Ke Teng was too out of touch with reality and didn't appreciate his blessings, which was why he was causing trouble.
When he had nothing, and tasted the bitterness of life, perhaps he would become honest.
After the two of them agreed, Ke Teng went out and asked Jian Fei.
"What were you sneakily saying to my dad inside? Trying to deal with me? You're such a dog."
Jian Fei was used to his scolding and didn't care about his sarcasm.
"Mr. Ke said that if you insist on going out, it's not impossible. Just agree to a few conditions."
"You must have given him some bad advice. Fine, I want to see how you plan to stop me. Speak."
"If you really think you're capable and can live well outside this house, then hand over all the money and your phone."
"Without a single cent, if you can survive outside for more than a month, we'll be convinced."
Hmph. He thought there was some difficult and impressive problem waiting for him.
So it was just this small matter.
Without a penny, let alone surviving outside for a month, Ke Teng wouldn't starve even if he lived outside for a lifetime!
With hands, feet, and a brain, he didn't believe he couldn't carve out his own world!
The naive and arrogant Ke Teng immediately took out his phone and threw it on the sofa.
"I don't have a single cent of cash on me, and I'm leaving my phone here. I'm not bringing any cards either. You can check if you don't believe me."
"Except for these clothes, I don't want anything from the Ke family. Can I leave now?"
Jian Fei's understanding of his naivety and ignorance deepened by another degree.
"Yes. But you need to think about the consequences. It's autumn, and it gets quite cold at night."
"Are you afraid I'll be so miserable that I'll sleep on the streets at night? If you have that much free time, worry about yourself more."
Ke Teng finally walked out of the Ke family's main door.
Standing at the entrance of the residential complex, he looked at the endless stream of traffic, basked in the bright sunlight, and listened to the noisy crowd.
He felt like he had finally come back to life.
Being cooped up at home every day, eating and sleeping, was just not dying.
This was the life a normal person should have!
Jian Fei watched him from not too far behind.
After Ke Teng finished his感慨 to the crowd, he turned and glanced at her.
"Why are you following me? Waiting to see me make a fool of myself and report back to my dad?"
Jian Fei said, "You're overthinking it. I'm just going to the hospital."
"We probably won't see each other again. Good luck, Young Master Ke."
After speaking, she walked past Ke Teng to the roadside and got into a pre-booked taxi.
Watching her leave, Ke Teng secretly rejoiced in his heart.
The robot without any feminine charm was finally gone. He would never have to see her again. Great!
Then he realized.
She had taken a taxi, but what about him?
No phone, not a cent, and Shang Cheng was so big. Even if he wanted to find a friend for help, he had to be able to walk there.
He regretted throwing his phone to her in a moment of impulse.
Nowadays, it was really inconvenient without a phone.
But there was no other way. He had already boasted. The first step of the long march had to be taken.
Fortunately, a friend's house was not too far from his home, and it wasn't anything important. He just treated it as sightseeing and walked leisurely towards his friend's house.
After walking for nearly an hour, he finally arrived.
The stern security guard blocked the entrance, refusing to let him in.
Ke Teng gave his friend's name and asked the guard to look carefully.
"I've been here before and I'm friends with him. Don't you remember me at all?"
The security guard didn't even look at him.
"I'm sorry, sir. Our community is equipped with vehicle recognition and facial recognition systems. Visitors must be personally picked up or called by the owner."
"Don't make it difficult for me. If you really want to get in, have your friend come to pick you up."
Ke Teng thought to himself: If I had a phone, would I need you to tell me?
There was a landline phone on the security desk. Ke Teng wanted to ask him to make a call.
But as the words reached his lips, he remembered that he didn't remember his friend's number at all...
It's all her fault! Damn Jian Fei! What a terrible idea she gave him!
When he turns things around in the future, he'll see how he deals with her!
Unable to enter the complex and with no money to go elsewhere, he was too lazy to walk. He told the security guard that he would go in and sit for a while and wait for his friend there.
The security guard wouldn't let him in.
"We have a rule here that unauthorized personnel cannot enter and exit freely. If you want to wait, please wait at the entrance."
Ke Teng sat on the green belt at the entrance of the residential complex like a stray dog, pitifully watching the cars coming and going, waiting.
More than an hour passed, but his friend never showed up.
He waited, becoming impatient and agitated.
Damn it, he wouldn't wait anymore!
This grand-disciple of his usually stayed up late and went out to have fun in the middle of the night, sleeping during the day.
If he didn't wait until midnight, he probably wouldn't see him. Forget it. While he had this time, he should think about how to make money without them.
He started walking along the street again.
When you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. At this moment, he thought of working.
